don't get me wrong

the journey back home took longer and was more complicated than expected involving 3 carriers, 3 airports, and 2 mad-dash airport runs to catch planes minutes before they taxied off. 24 hours after leaving the dallas-fort worth airport my checked bag ended its wander and met me at home. don't get me wrong, despite of the trip home craziness, I had a grand time!

after 12 days of being away the amount of things which need my attention is larger than expected and since I'm off on another wee wander thursday, my return to blogging is likely to be delayed until next week! don't get me wrong, I am missing the cyberhood, but right now I just can't figure out how to get everything in. I haven't even begun to organize the hundreds of photos I snapped (1026 to be exact!)

don't get me wrong, I won't leave you totally high and dry. here are a few few images to tide you over until I get the flickr albums up.

'don't get me wrong' written by akron native chrissy hynde of the pretenders. the song hit the charts in 1986 and remains one of the group's most recognizable and favorite tunes. a couple years ago lily allen covered the song in the 40th anniversary celebration of bbc radio 1

Welcome back! The missing Mouse kind of quieted things down around here!

I love the yoga turtle.

And thanks for the Chrissy Hynde video; I haven't heard from her in a while. Isn't it interesting that Akron contributed so much to the American chapter of the whole punk/new wave/alternative thing? Chrissy, Devo, Rachel Sweet, Jane Aire, Pere Ubu... Oh dear, I just got all nostalgic for the '80s again!

TCU looks wonderful! Love that turtle yoga; turtles do enjoy an up-dog now and again. You are so blessed to have had such a wonderful college experience. Look at all your friends/colleagues, not to mention life partners you came away with. Mouse, I can't believe Texas is so beautiful. Is it your camera, your eye, Texas, or a combination?
